FROM PERKS
Coocepts uses state-of-the-art 3D printing to make really cool wireless lamps that look like lit-up moons, dandelions and city skylines. The moon lamps will definitely come in handy should you be interested in recreating last week’s eclipse. Or just interested in creating some extra reading light.
MAGIC HOUR
Everyone’s favorite movie-showing bar next to Foreign Cinema has just launched a new happy hour with $4 beers and $7 Presbyterian Highballs, Palomas and Moscow Mules. Oh, and the snacks are gratis. Must have something to do with every part before the gratis snacks part.
SHELL GAME
While on your long-weekend trip outside the city, swing by Salt Wood Kitchen and Oysterette, opening tomorrow in Monterey and headed by a chef with Coi, Incanto and Atelier Crenn experience. Come for the Monterey Red Abalone cooked in its shell, stay for the Alvarado Street Pilsner. And everything else.
A ROSÉ BY ANY OTHER NAME
On Sunday, head to Spark Social SF for the Rosé Soirée, where tickets will get you unlimited tastings of over 20 rosés, bottomless rosé sangria and access to food trucks and oyster pairing options. Yes, you must still reckon with rosé until further notice.
COME SAIL AWAY
Enjoy your well-earned day off on Monday by boarding the Labor Day Bloody Mary Sail schooner, which will include many of those aforementioned Bloodys, a light breakfast and countless Instagram opportunities of you and boats and Bloodys and breakfast.
RAUCOUS BACCHUS
Or you could always head halfway across the Bay to the Winery SF for their BBQ Bacchus, complete with great views of the city, wine tastings, live music and a gratis hot dog with RSVP. Yeah, the hot dog thing felt sort of anticlimactic to us, too.
SHOW AND TELL
…all right here in this convenient roundup. You should also know that the real-life version of Jay Gatsby’s fictional mansion is up for sale. And that we brainstormed new strains of marijuana based on Netflix shows. That was fun.
Joe Starkey is the tallest person in the room 90% of the time. He enjoys liquors that aren’t smoky, dive bars that are, and has a vague dread that someone, somewhere might be having more fun than him.
